Am trying to quote Lallana in Pyjamas post number 664 relating to Klopp spending £560 million since his arrival but it won't let me quote the post.
This is what pisses me off about some supporters on this forum and in public in general. At least try and put things into perspective.
Klopp has actually spent
£97,950,000. Link to information is here -
https://www.anfield-online.co.uk/stats/Jürgen-klopp-lfc-transfer-signings.htmlAmount spent on players in under Klopp -
41 Players Bought: £514,050,000.Amount recouped on player sales under Klopp -
44 Players Sold: £416,100,000.This equates to a spend of
£19,590,000 per Season based on a 5 Season spread. When you actually use and demonstrate perspective it just highlights what a phenomenal job Klopp has done in his time here.
Anyone can say that Klopp has spent £560,000,000 in his time here, though the above figures and article link dispute that. When you make that statement without mentioning the fact that Klopp had to recoup £416,100,000 of that amount through moving players out of the Club then you are truly doing a disservice to the outstanding job he has actually done.
Guardiola has spent
£918,017,363 since he took over. He has recouped
£351,350,000. Equating to a net spend of roughly
£120,000,000 per Season.
Just shy of £20 million per Season is Championship level spending. Let that sink in for a minute.
Klopp is a genius. Could Pep do what Klopp has done here? I doubt it. Pep is used to getting everything he wants, Klopp isn't afforded that luxury, yet he produces consistently. We are lucky to have him.
